MSNBC is getting a divorce and it's fantastic

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for a seismic shakeup in the media world. The liberal bastion known as MSNBC is getting a dramatic rebrand, soon to be dubbed "MS NOW"-- that's "My Source News Opinion World," if you're keeping score. This bombshell dropped on Monday’s "Morning Joe," and let me tell you, it's more than just a name change. It's a corporate divorce that's been brewing for years, and' about to get messy.

For decades, NBC and MSNBC have been joined at the hip, like a power couple in the news game. But Comcast, the parent company, is pulling the plug on this marriage, splitting its NBCUniversal empire. Comcast announced last year it's spinning off its cable networks into a new entity called Versant. That's right, MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, and the Golf Channel are all packing their bags and moving out, while NBCUniversal holds onto NBC News, NBC News Now, Telemundo, and Bravo. It's a high-stakes custody battle over brands, talent, and real estate, and the fallout is already raising eyebrows.

Let's talk about the split. MSNBC’'s Rachel 'Mad Cow' Maddow and NBC's Savannah Guthrie are no longer playing for the same team. Once the divorce is finalized by the end of 2025, these two won't even be colleagues under the NBCUniversal umbrella. And the iconic Peacock is getting a makeover at MSNBC, replaced by a new logo: a striped flag in red, white, and blue, but not an American flag because they really don't like America all that much. Goodbye, fashionable fowl; hello, patriotic flair. Meanwhile, CNBC, ever the steady one, keeps its "Consumer News and Business Channel" name intact. No drama there.

Now, let's get to the real estate drama. 

Rockefeller Center, 30 Rock, has been the beating heart of NBC since forever, and MSNBC called it home since its launch in 1996. But in this divorce, NBC gets to keep the house. MSNBC is being evicted, forced to set up shop temporarily on 43rd Street while they hunt for a permanent new home. They're also vacating NBC's D.C. bureau near the Capitol and striking out on their own. 

Talk about a fresh start, or more accurately, a forced one.

NBC and MSNBC have long shared their so called stars, with hosts and correspondents bouncing between the two like it's no big deal. But now, lines are being drawn. NBC is holding onto Steve Kornacki, their data wizard who has been a staple of MSNBC's election nights. Andrea Mitchell, after wrapping her long-running MSNBC show "Andrea Mitchell Reports" in February, is staying with NBC as their chief Washington and foreign affairs correspondent. José Díaz-Balart is out at MSNBC but keeping his gigs anchoring "NBC Nightly News Saturday" and Noticias Telemundo.

Meanwhile, MS NOW (or as Greg Gutfeld referred to them as: "Miserable Sh*t No One Watches") is building its roster, snagging some heavy hitters from NBC. Justice reporters Ken Dilanian and Ryan Reilly, national correspondent Jacob Soboroff, White House correspondent Vaughn Hillyard, and internet reporter Brandy Zadrozny are all jumping ship to MS NOW. MSNBC's current lineup, including Stephanie Ruhle, who's juggled roles as NBC's senior business analyst and host of "The 11th Hour," will stay put through the rebrand. And in a rare win, Willie Geist, the guy who pulls double duty on NBC's "Sunday TODAY" and MSNBC's "Morning Joe," has scored a deal to keep both gigs post-split, according to a source who spoke to Fox News Digital. 

Now that's some serious negotiating power.

But let's not kid ourselves, this isn't just a corporate reshuffle. MSNBC has been on a hiring spree, poaching big names like veteran journalist Carol Leonnig from the struggling Washington Post, because they know they're losing NBC's news-gathering muscle. The question is, can MS NOW stand on its own without the Peacock’s clout? 

And what does this mean for a network that's leaned so heavily on its liberal identity? The name "MS NOW" screams agenda-driven journalism. And don't let that flag fool you: MS NOW is not pivoting to the center.

And if you want to Buy Me A Coffee, I wouldn't stop you--it supports my work and I really appreciate it. But no pressure.

MSNBC/MSDNC anchors face huge pay cuts as Comcast severs ties with network

Comcast is finally pulling the plug on MSNBC, the media giant announced this Wednesday. This is tough luck for the overpaid and increasingly out-of-touch anchors who work there (temporarily). MSNBC, along with other cable channels that aren't doing so well, but not Bravo which is all about reality TV, will be turned into a separate company that anyone can buy stock in by the end of next year. This means MSNBC will no longer be part of the supposedly more serious and neutral NBC News, which often shares stories, fact-checking (take that with a grain of salt), and guest commentators with MSNBC. Comcast executives informed MSNBC employees on Wednesday that the channel might lose its name and the iconic peacock logo after this split. Plus, those huge p

The decision hints that Comcast's bigwigs can no longer explain to their investors why they keep paying top dollar to stars like Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough, and Joy Reid. Even though MSNBC and other cable channels owned by Comcast still bring in cash, their earnings have dropped a lot lately. That's why the higher-ups and those with money in the company are looking to dump what they call "declining assets." When word got out about the plan on Tuesday, Comcast's stock went up after the market closed. The hosts at MSNBC have done well for themselves, making big bucks by stirring up political fervor for a shrinking crowd of older folks. After this year's election, in prime time, MSNBC only managed to pull in 65,000 viewers aged 25-54, which is less than 10% of their total audience.

"This is sort of a very clear, direct statement by Comcast," Rich Greenfield, cofounder of the research firm LightShed Partners, told CNBC, which, by the way, is also being spun off into the new entity. "They are exiting the cable network business. This is them saying we don’t want to be in this business. This is no longer a growth business. It’s going to be around for a long time, but it’s just no longer a growth business."

After MSNBC and its related channels like USA, E!, and Oprah's Oxygen are spun off into their own company, the new bosses will likely seize the chance to streamline operations by laying off employees and cutting pay. The ridiculous situation where MSNBC anchors rake in millions to talk about extreme topics like Hitler to a shrinking crowd of just tens of thousands in total, and even fewer in the key 25-54 age group, will come to an end. Sure, some of the big names might talk about leaving, but their options are limited. CNN? Forget it. They're already in the process of downsizing too. The days of easy money are over, and frankly, most people in America don't seem too upset about it.

Here's a peek at a few of the outrageous MSNBC anchor salaries that executives at the new, yet-to-be-named media company are likely to cut dramatically:

Rachel Maddow [aka Madcow]

Once MSNBC and other channels like USA, E!, and Oprah's Oxygen become their own separate company, the new leaders will probably jump at the chance to make the business more efficient by letting some people go and drastically reduce salaries. The crazy part where MSNBC hosts get paid big bucks for discussing over-the-top subjects like Hitler to only a few thousand viewers, and even less in the important 25-54 age group, will be over. Sure, some famous hosts might think about quitting, but their choices are slim. CNN? No way. They're already cutting back. The era of making easy money is done, and honestly, most Americans aren't too bothered by it.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski [aka Mr. and Mrs. Scarborough

They'll say or do just about anything to boost their ratings and promote themselves. This big-shot couple at MSNBC, known for being bullies, sneaky, looking out for themselves, and being total hypocrites, just went to Mar-a-Lago to meet President-elect Trump. Remember, these are the same people who called him a "racist" and "fascist" like Hitler during the election. They probably got a huge pay deal like Rachel Maddow did. Scarborough, in particular, has gotten really out of touch. Scarborough claimed that the current Joe Biden was sharpest ever, which was clearly not true, especially since Biden's debate went so badly it made him quit the 2024 race. Despite once criticizing Al Sharpton for his anti-Semitic remarks, Scarborough often has him on to talk about stuff, even anti-Semitism.

Chris Hayes [aka Rachel Maddow-ish]

Chris Hayes, often referred to by his colleagues as "the male Rachel Maddow" but without her knack for reading from a teleprompter, tries to copy her smug attitude and factual inaccuracies. He's also facing a defamation lawsuit. When Hayes isn't disrespecting the military or advocating for transgender surgeries for kids, he's good at pushing racially charged comments on his show. Recently, he sat there, nodding, while Sherrilyn Ifill, ex-president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, made unsubstantiated claims that Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, was a white supremacist. This was too much even for Michael LaRosa, a long-time Democratic strategist and ex-MSNBC producer, who commented, "This stuff has to stop," pointing out that such rhetoric contributed to political losses.

Joy Reid

Joy Reid, who a lot of corporate leaders would probably want to get rid of because she's a political risk, actually got a promotion in 2020. This was even after she tried to say her old blog was "hacked" when people found old posts that were homophobic and anti-Semitic. Since then, her influence at MSNBC, a network that obviously doesn't have a problem with anti-Semitism, has just gotten bigger, but her show has turned into a platform for extreme racial issues and all sorts of wild claims. She brings on so called "experts" who say Republicans are making it impossible for Black people to vote, has accused Republicans of teaching people about "inflation," and recently criticized Latino men for voting for Trump, saying they're betraying their own race and families. None of this is based in reality and is itself racist.

Al Sharpton [aka Sharptongue]

Although Sharpton's official salary isn't high, people argue he's a race baiting idiot and is still getting too much, considering his controversial past. He was behind the 1991 Crown Heights riots, a major anti-Semitic event in America. Yet, the make-believe Reverend still collects a paycheck. The Kamala Harris campaign gave $500,000 to his group, the National Action Network, right before Sharpton had a cozy chat with Harris on his MSNBC show. This group is pretty cozy with MSNBC's head, Rashida Jones, who got a special award from them in 2021 and 2024.

Nicolle Wallace

Nicolle Wallace, who used to work for the Republicans but switched sides when she moved to New York and started getting paid to criticize them, is famous for pushing the narrative around Michael Avenatti, who was later convicted. She's adored by the #Resistance crowd, often having "experts" on her show who compare January 6 to the 9/11 attacks, saying the former was worse. After her 2019 divorce, Wallace started dating Michael Schmidt from the New York Times, who's been on her show a lot. (They're now married.) Schmidt is working on a Netflix show with Noah Oppenheim, the former NBC News president who's been accused of stopping Ronan Farrow from reporting on Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct.

NBC News

NBC News, which will stay under Comcast's wing, is thought to be in trouble by those in the know. There's a chance they'll have to let some people go and lower the huge salaries of their anchors to make up for the money they'll lose from MSNBC and CNBC. The network itself isn't doing so great either. The Today show, their biggest money-maker, has lost a ton of viewers over the years, and Nightly News with Lester Holt, who reportedly makes about $10 million annually, has seen its ratings in the key 25-54 demographic drop by half since 2018. After the split, Comcast might decide to scale down NBC News, which could mean less pay for stars like Holt and Savannah Guthrie, who makes around $18 million for hosting the Today show. Interestingly, Guthrie is married to Michael Feldman, a Democratic strategist who used to work with Al Gore.

Fox News host calls MSNBC'sJoy Reid's "F Bomb" example of her 'fraudulent' views being exposed

Who knew that MSNBC's far-left racist and homophobic host, Joy Reid, was also a closet Biden basher?

Reid was caught on a hot mic dropping an "F-bomb" and was cursing and apparently targeting a senile and demented old man who lives in a White House and still claims his son Beau died in Iraq, is buried in Normandy, and was a war hero.

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and now a Fox News host, explained her frustration with Reid's "lack of journalistic integrity" on "Jesse Watters Primetime," saying her views appear to be "completely different" from what she broadcasts to her audience.

Well, that's true for sure at least when considering her homophobic remarks she made on her now deleted blog, and what she claims to believe today.

But McEnany went further and blasted Reid for her lack of journalistic integrity and the fact that she talks out of both sides of her mouth:

Completely different, fraudulent. This is the network that pumps Biden over and over and over. It's the preferred network of the administration, I would argue. They send their surrogates out there all the time. And here's what she's saying behind the scenes? This guy's going to start another war, and this is who she's peddling? It is so beneath any line of journalistic integrity. Joy Reid, we know she's never been anywhere close to that, and then you get to Scarborough, saying 'Joe Biden's engaged, full of energy.' Who has ever said that? No one, except the drunk guy at the bar.

But the same Joe Scarborough says Donald Trump wants to execute his generals. Donald Trump wants to use Seal Team Six to execute his opponents. No, that was something a judge put forward as a hypothetical, nothing that Trump said. But they don't play Trump, so you'd never know if he said it or not.

On Monday's installment of MSNBCs "The ReidOut," Reid dropped an F-bomb during a monologue attacking the Republicans that she had accused of "taking credit" for bills they voted against but were passed by Democrats and signed into law by the president. She blasted the GOP obstruction of an immigration bill being mulled behind the scenes "for the sake of Donald Trump."

"Over the weekend, President Biden said he's ready to take action if Congress is serious about solving the border issue," the far left Reid told her handful of viewers.

MSNBC then cut to Biden's remarks, which were abruptly interrupted by Reid's voice on a hot mic.

"Starting another f---in' war," Reid could be heard saying with a chuckle before her audio was immediately cut.

Perhaps she'll claim her microphone was hacked by undercover conservatives.

Cutting back to Reid mid-sentence, she then appeared to accuse Trump of "still trying to kill the deal" before carrying on with the rest of her bull crap.

Towards the end of the show, Reid once again gave an apology to viewers for the "'behind the scenes' chatter" they heard. 

It was "chatter." It was uncensored thoughts of Joy Reid and any intelligent person would know that; so I suspect her audience won't catch on. 

This is a network that is too far left to even allow former President Trump's speeches to be heard, save for the pieces they often cut out of context.

Joe Scarborough calls DeSantis an anti-Semite for saying Alvin Bragg is Soros-backed

If you say Joy Reid is homophobic based on her history of homophobic Facebook posts, you're a racist. 

If you don't want men in dresses and lipstick straddling your child at a drag queen show, you're transphobic. 

If you believe Anthony Fauci is responsible for COVID policies that were dangerous, especially to our children, you're a science denier. 

If you believe criticizing leftist billionaire and self-described atheist George Soros' plan to overhaul and eventually destroy our criminal justice system is a reasonable criticism, you're an anti-Semite.

And if you believe any of these claims are true, you might be a far-left, low-information Joe Scarborough advocate, because he criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) of anti-Semitism for saying that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is Soros-backed, which indeed he is.

But Soros was born Jewish, although he is an atheist and thus not really a Jew other than birth's immutable stamp on him. And Joe Scarborough was born stupid, and that's birth's immutable stamp on the hair guy.

It's absolutely ludicrous to take that pejorative by the MSNBC cretin seriously. Nobody on this planet, other than his dear departed mother, I presume, when they think of Soros, thinks of a Jew. No, they think of Soros as a Marxist, maybe even a socialist, but while they may know he's Jewish by birth, people don't see him as such, certainly not as his defining characteristic. 

The left's arguments against conservative ideology is anemic so what they must do is name call and shut off our speech and constitutional rights. Otherwise, they've got zilch, and the Biden administration, along with his handlers, are proof of this.

Scarborough went after the DeSantis’ tweet that said he wouldn't cooperate with "Soros-backed" Alvin Bragg in the extradition of former President Donald Trump that came after Bragg had him indicted on what appears to be dubious legal grounds. 

Scarborough is obvious ignorant of the fact that Soros was clear in that he had an agenda to elect leftist prosecutors across the entire United States; it appears everyone knows that except Joe Scarborough who obviously used a strawman argument making DeSantis seem like he was taking a swipe at Soros' Jewish heritage.

“It’s just Jews. They’re attacking Jewish, international bankers. It’s what anti-Semites have been doing for hundreds of years — attacking Jewish, international bankers,” Scarborough disgustingly said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on March 31.

Then the idiot savant host used the tired, inexcusable, leftist talking point comparing DeSantis to Nazis:   “That’s what they do. They try to blame everything on Jewish international bankers. It’s Germany 1933.”

Really now. George Soros is closer to being a Nazi than being a Jew.

MRC Business Vice President Dan Schneider, who is Jewish, ripped Scarborough apart on Twitter for his senseless comparison of DeSantis to Nazi Germany: “@JoeNBC diminishes the evilness of the holocaust and anti-Semitism by blabbering such [treif]. THAT is evil.” Schneider later said in a follow-up statement: “Scarborough diminishing the evils of anti-Semitism this way is anti-Semitism. I call on him to apologize to all Jews.”

He won't.

And he won't condemn Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (MI) for their real anti-Semitism.

MSNBC claims there was no violence in Al Sharptongue's history: say what?

Sees himself in the mirror

Like the mostly peaceful protests of Kenosha, Wisconsin last year, the Mostly Seditious Neanderthal-Baiting Communist network (MSNBC) is trying to pass off one of their racist hosts as a guy with a non-violent history. That guy, of course, is the not very Rev. Al Sharpton [aka Al Sharptongue]. 

Here's a quick word association test: when you think of race riots, violence, burning, looting, and White people all being described as White supremacists, what man comes to mind, not including Jessie Jackson?

But MSNBC doesn't want you to believe big Al has a history surrounded with violence and peppered with lies, crime and hateful behavior. The idiots at the network actually praised Sharptongue for holding "peaceful" demonstrations, devoid of "violence" or "bloodshed" and for maintaining a "great" relationship with the NYPD.

They want you to believe this racist piece of garbage shoots rainbows from his butt and loves him some White folk.

 

Joe Scarborough complimented Sharpton, who was a panelist on Friday’s episode of “Morning Joe,” which, with the ratings circling the bowl, will soon be called "Mourning Joe."

Joe highlighted Walter (Hawk) Newsome's comments. Newsome, who lives with his mother and has never contributed anything positive to society, is the leader of the Marxist group Black Lives Matter of Greater New York. He warned the New York City Mayor-elect Eric Adams against reactivating a plainclothes police unit to crack down on gun violence.

“If they think they are going back to the old ways of policing then we’re going to take to the streets again,” Walter Newsome threatened. “There will be riots. There will be fire, and there will be bloodshed.”

“You know, Rev, obviously people can disagree,” said Scarborough, who had good things to say about Adams. He then told Sharptongue, his race hustler guest, that Newsome's approach is 

But, the host told Sharptongue that Newsome’s approach is “obviously not the way to do things and not the way you do things.” Of course Scarborough is lying because if there's one thing Sharptongue is known for is the violence that follows in his wake.

Sharptongue played a key role in the anti-Semitic 1991 Crown Heights riots which was described by one historian as “the most serious anti-Semitic incident in American history.” A Black Studies "professor" Leonard Jeffries claimed that “rich Jews” ran the transatlantic slave trade, and “Russian Jewry … and their financial partners, the Mafia, put together a system of destruction of black people.” 

When asked about Jeffries' comments, Sharpton came to his aid. “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house,” Sharptongue offensively said, but failed to provide his address.

On August 19, 1991, a car in the detail of the late Rabbi Menachem Schneerson accidentally struck two young Black children. Gavin Cato, 7, was killed and as the neighborhood was busy rioting, many in the crowd yelled, "Kill the Jew!" The group of rioters surrounded an Australian rabbinical student named Yankel Rosenbaum and stabbed him four times and fractured his skull. 

He died in the hospital due to the staff missing one of his wounds, or better known as medical malpractice.

The following day, Sharptongue ignored then-Mayor David Dinkins (D) who asked for calm. Instead, the race hustler stirred up a crowd and marched through the streets of Crown Heights chanting, "No justice, no peace."

At young Cato's funeral sermon, the fat anti-Semite denounced Jewish "diamond merchants." Then he said:  “The Bible says that a man sows, that shall he also reap. Well, who sowed violence?” 

What followed that night was anti-Semitic violence as Jews were pelted with stones, dragged from vehicles and beaten. One mother was hit by a rock thrown through her window. She called 911 six times as rioters tried to beat down her door. The cops never came.

The NYPD were told to hold the line as they stood by as hundreds of rioters threw things in anger. Soon the cops were told to retreat and about 200 cops turned away from the rioting and ran away.

Ten cops, including Police Chief Lee Brown, were wounded in melee along with ten civilians. A bottle was thrown at Dinkins [who is Black] and that may have sparked the orders to finally begin enforcing the law.

Overall, 43 law enforcement officers and 152 civilians had experienced violence or bloodshed.

Then in 1995, the United House of Prayer, a Black Pentecostal Church, which owned a rental property in Harlem on 125th Street, asked Fred Harari, a Jewish tenant who ran Freddie's Fashion Mart, to evict his longtime subtenant, a Black-owned record shop called The Record Shack.

"Go ahead, pull my finger"

Never one to let the opportunity to riot go by, Sharptongue led a protest against the planned eviction of which the church gave the task to Harari. 

The rotund anti-Semite told the protesters, "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."

Then on December 8, 1995, Roland J. Smith Jr., one of the protesters, entered Freddie's Fashion Mart with a gun and flammable liquid, shot several customers and set the store on fire. Then Smith turned the gun on himself. Seven store employees died of smoke inhalation.

Fire Department officials discovered that the store's sprinkler had been shut down, in violation of the local fire code. 

Sharpton claimed that Smith was actually an open critic of himself and his nonviolent tactics, which he often claims to absolve himself of the violence that seems to follow him like bad body odor.

In 2002, Sharpton expressed regret for making the racial remark "white interloper" but denied responsibility for inflaming or provoking the violence. And at least he didn't say, "Jew interloper."

And because Sharptongue (like Joy Reid) is on the left, he has been excused from being canceled for his anti-gay rhetoric.

On February 13, 1994, Sharptongue told a student audience at Kean University [go Aardvarks!] in New Jersey: "White folks was in the caves while we was [sic] building empires," he falsely claimed. "We built pyramids before Donald Trump even knew what architecture was. We taught philosophy and astrology [sic] and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." 

By 'homos' Sharptongue was referring to homosexuals in case you're a speed reader and missed it.

He stood by his homophobic comments by claiming the term "homo" was not homophobic; but he was quick to add that he no longer uses that term [because it's homophobic by the left's definition].

Then the America-hater said,  "Do some cracker come and tell you, 'Well my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,' you better hold your pocket. That ain't nothing to be proud of, that means their forefathers was crooks."

On one occasion in 1992, he ridiculed moderate black politicians close to the Democratic Party as "cocktail sip Negroes" or "yellow niggers". 

He such a nice Rev.

Following the "not guilty" verdict of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin that was ruled self defense, Sharptongue called the verdict an "atrocity" and "a slap in the face to those that believe in justice."

So, Sharptongue and his money making organization, National Action Network, held rallies in several cities denouncing the verdict and called for "Justice for Trayvon".

Despite his race baiting history, Scarborough told Sharpton, “I’d love your comments about [Hawk Newsome’s] outrageous statements.”

Scarborough went to kiss Rev. Sharptongue on the lips to which the man of the cloth snapped, "Keep your white lips to yourself, cracker."

MSNBC leftist Joe Scarborough says of Epstein's death: 'How predictably ...Russian'

The execrable MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was blown away by Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide and suggested that there was some kind of conspiracy behind it. Perhaps Trump. Perhaps Russia. Probably both.

"A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men's lives ends up dead in his jail cell," the excessively hair headed Scarborough said on Saturday regarding the now dead pedophile. "How predictably... Russian," he added, attempting to sound edgy, while perhaps trying to link Epstein's death somehow to Trump. Or perhaps Russia. Probably both.

Scarborough seemed to be alluding to the many mysterious deaths with suspected connections to the Russian government that he would like to tie to both Putin and Trump. "Powerful Democratic and Republican figures breathing a huge sigh of relief—as well as a Harvard professor or two," he tweeted, the latter reference being Alan Dershowitz, who denies any untoward connection to the now dead pedophile scumcrumpet.

Dershowitz, along with former President Bill Clinton, was named in flight logs obtained as part of civil suits against Epstein. One of Epstein's alleged victims also claimed that he forced her to have sex with Dershowitz when she was underage.

Dershowitz has denied her claims and a person is considered innocent unless proven guilty, except for conservatives, Trump and his supporters and Alan Dershowitz who the left now considers a traitor for going on Fox News as a contributor.

In another tweet, Scarborough said it was "bull---t" to believe that Epstein was able to kill himself after reportedly trying to commit suicide just weeks prior. Of course Scarborough is only speculating while pretending his words are facts. He wasn't there and doesn't know how Epstein died.  

The 66-year-old pedophile pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges but could have faced up to 45 years in prison, a veritable life sentence, unless he lived to be 112, which he didn't.

"The rich and powerful get away with raping young girls...again," Scarborough said in another tweet, his anger fueled by Epstein's refusal to invite him to "Orgy Island" with his Democratic friends.

Some on Twitter criticized Scarborough's suspicions but he wasn't the only one to ask questions about the billionaire's death, and there is some sense to his thinking, but that should be the quiet part until we know the facts.

Newsweek columnist Seth Abramson, for example, said on Twitter that "there's a reasonable likelihood that this is the most suspicious death in federal custody in years, if not decades."

No question, Abramson is correct in his assessment. 

But the facts are not in, and I suspect they will be as believable as MSNBC's news reporting on the Trump administration.

Potty mouth Beto capitalizes on El Paso massacre

The mass shooting in El Peso, Texas that killed 22 and wounded 40 people was Robert Francis O'Rourke's [aka Beto] golden opportunity to show self-righteous indignation and propel him up the chart, the only direction he could go, for his candidacy in the 2020 presidential election.

Almost overnight, O'Rourke has moved up from being an also-ran far-left presidential candidate languishing in the low single digits into a loser who finds himself at the center of a national tragedy.e

With 22 people (many of them, to his benefit, were Hispanic) shot dead by a white nationalist in his hometown and his Democratic rivals all weighing in on gun control and domestic terrorism, the former Texas congressman, and Senate loser to Ted Cruz, made sure to not let a tragedy go to waste.

After a vigil on Sunday, O’Rourke, who pulled out a nose hair and choked back tears before flying back to the border town, expressed exasperation at being asked if there is anything that President Trump could do to make the situation better.

“What do you think? You know the sh*t he’s been saying. He’s been calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. Like, members of the press, what the f*ck?” O’Rourke said. The misquoted clip quickly went viral because anyone who would vote for him would believe anything he says.

On Monday, he said: “The only modern Western democracy that I can think of that said anything close to this is the Third Reich, Nazi Germany," minimizing the slaughter of millions of Jews at the hand of Hitler by making such a blatantly false comparison. When everything Trump says of does is "Hitleresque," everyone with one functional brain neuron knows it's bullcrap.

O'Rourke had the opportunity to actually bring the country together--that might have earned him well-deserved support--but he did what the left has been doing a lot more than the right [who are not totally innocent either] and that is divide the country, continue with the tribe mentality and basically continue the approach of Barack Obama.

Beto isn't a loser because people prefer the other candidate as much as they deplore his disingenuous shenanigans. He isn't even really Beto. He's really kind of a flailing-armed dufus in a blue shirt using swear words to sound edgy and real.

“Beto is looking better and better as a candidate. His honest expression of frustration. His clear eyed analysis of what is happening. That impressed us,” MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said on Monday.

So which expression is Mika's "honest expression"? The one where she and her husband Joe Scarborough endorsed Donald Trump in 2016 with Joe admitting he'd be glad to be Trump's running mate, or the "honest expression" she expresses now?

Mika's b*tt boy slams William Barr

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said that Attorney General William Barr’s reputation has been “sullied” just hours before he addressed the media regarding Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, saying it’s time to rethink the process how attorney generals are picked.

Scarborough, who is no longer taken seriously by independents, conservatives and undecided voters, said of Barr's handling of the release of the Mueller report, "He does something once again that is going to scuff up his reputation. Absolutely his reputation is shot." He described Barr as a "political hack" and is no longer "a respected legal mind." Mika just nodded uh huh.

“Here’s a guy that served in Washington for 30 years, had the respect of Republicans — he won’t get his reputation back. It’s shot. Sullied, the way he’s handled himself.”

In other words, he did his job as AG and interpreted the report and it didn't go the way the left wanted it to go and embarrassed the hell out of them. For over two years the left has made empty claims of guilt involving the Trump administration and the Russians, which turned out to be unfounded.

Scarborough’s baseless remarks came ahead of the release of the report detailing findings from the two-year investigation into the Trump campaign and the Russia government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. He knew what Barr was going to say [again] because of the summary he released after getting the report.

The MSNBC host later went on to suggest that Barr’s behavior should lead to a change in how attorney generals are picked, as if only the Republicans choose people who support their political ideology. As if Barr is Trump's "wingman" like Eric Holder said of his relationship with President Obama, who later went on to protect Holder in the 'Fast and Furious' scandal.

“We’ve seen the breaching of norms and political norms and it seems bizarre at this point that a president should be able to select their own attorney general, who can decide how the investigations are run against them.”

Scarborough would like to be the person to select the attorney general--it would be so much less frustrating.

Democrats and media figures criticized Barr for announcing a press conference before the actual release of the document and for briefing the administration on Wednesday about some of the contents of the report, as is the custom of AGs to do since they answer to the president.

Barr’s summary of the report states that the Special Counsel investigation didn’t find evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in a bid to elect President Trump, and this angers the left who would rather have had a president conspire with the Russians because they hate Trump so much.

Putting politics over country is horribly unpatriotic, but Democrats are no longer accused of being in that category of American.

Scarborough Unfair: uses 911 to attack our president

He sings like he writes

Joe Scarborough used the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, where about 3,000 people were killed by Osama bin Laden's jihadis, to attack President Trump.

You cannot be more of an America-bashing scumcrumpet than Joe Scarborough to compare a sitting president to a horrible murdering Islamist.

"Singin' Joe" in a tweet to promote his new Washington Post column, tweeted, "Trump is damaging the dream of America more than any terrorist attack ever could." He evidently believes that historically low unemployment for nation, including minorities, tax cuts, trying to assuage poor relations with North Korea, and protecting our borders is bad for the nation--a disgusting way to see the country.

In the garbage column Scarborough used his English 101 strategy for writing a thesis of attacking the other side first, then going after the real target. Once a big Trump supporter, Crazy Joe first criticized former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama. Then he honed in on his real target, because let's face it, Scarborough would have bowed as deeply to Obama as Obama bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.

"Sixteen years of strategic missteps have been followed by the maniacal moves of a man who has savaged America's vital alliances, provided comfort to hostile foreign powers [as opposed to Obama who just gave them lots of money], attack our intelligence and military communities [and gave the military huge financial increases to their budgets while Obama cut them]. amd ;emt a sympathetic ear to neo-Nazis across the globe" [which was totally wrong of Trump but at least he didn't screw up Arab Spring like Barack did], Scarborough writes.

Democrat's foreign policy strategy

"For those of us still believing that Islamic extremists hate America because of the freedoms we guarantee to all people, the gravest threat Trump poses to our national security is the damage done daily to America's image."

Yes, now that Trump has kicked the collective butts of ISIS, ended the crappy nuclear deal with Iran that absolutely guarantees them weapons in the near future, we need to be concerned about his lack of having a filter in his rhetoric.

The problem with Trump is that in government affairs, as opposed to personal ones, he doesn't lie enough. He sometimes needs to not say things that should remain silent, but he simply can't help himself.

He ended his article, written on the eve on 9/11 by encouraging people to get out there and vote. "The question for voters this fall is whether their country will move beyond this troubled chapter in history or whether they will continue supporting a politician who has done more damage to the dream of America than any foreign adversary ever could."

Excluding the Nazis and Japanese in World War II, Iran's terroristic act and proxy war, the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama administration, and the left's moving further toward socialism, a failed economic system that will definitely ruin America.

Meanwhile, Trump's economy is humming along.

MSNBC speculates POTUS has STDs, sexual dysfunction

The Mean Streaming Nothing But Communism network (MSNBC) has been running segments this week speculating about President Trump's sex life. They suggest he suffered from "sexual dysfunction" and that he also has a sexually transmitted disease.

Their team of "experts" on sexual dysfunction and perversion, Gwenda Blair, Brian Stelter, Elise Jordan, Mika Brzezinski and Rachel Maddow, think a lot about this issue, as well they should. In fact, that's about all they think about.

Gwenda Blair knows Trump's hair

The first segment ran on Tuesday. The MSNBC panel of geniuses mocked medication the president has reportedly taken in the past and indicated that he may have taken them to deal with "sexual dysfunction," a condition well known to Stelter who loses one follicle of hair every time he abuses himself in the MSNBC washroom.

Gwenda Blair wrote a book about Trump. "Propecia is associated, you know, is used for hair loss [evidently writing better than she, you know, speaks] -- he doesn't want to talk about that. It's also associated--it has a lot of bad side effects, including sexual dysfunction. I think he really doesn't want to talk about that."

And Gwenda Blair doesn't want to talk about her sexual fantasies of Hillary Clinton and whipped cream.

Another segment came and went on Wednesday. 

Mika Brzezinski implied on "Morning Joe" that President Trump is hiding an STD in his medical records. And we all know what a classy broad Brzezinski is because she's capable of spelling her name correctly without having to look in her purse that her guitar-playing fool of a fiancée, Joe Scarborough holds for her.

How would she know that? Medical records are confidential and she's making stuff up because that's what fake news nerds do.

Elise Jordan commented after a comment from MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, saying, "You leave [the White House] with the political equivalent of an STD, to talk about something that Donald Trump worries about constantly."

"It's something that you just don't get rid of easily," Jordan said, speaking from experience.

Wishes he used Propecia

Then Joe Scarborough began talking rather than singing poorly, when Brzezinski shouted, "Wait a minute! Maybe that's why they raided his doctor's office," referring to Jordan's comments.

Although Brian Stelter wasn't on the show, he still could be heard in the men's room while Maddow was with her girlfriend, Susan Mikula.

Mika Brzezinski's rich pals refuse to leave USA and relocate

MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski and her rich, jet-setting friends along with her future husband, Joe Scarborough, are embarrassed to be Americans. And although many had promised to leave the country if Trump got elected, they lied and are still here crying for Hillary Clinton and the tragic loss in the 2016 presidential election.

"I had some friends that went to Paris over the holiday . . . and they said they were just viscerally embarrassed to be American," Brzezinski said. 

But her rich friends did not stay in Paris and came back to the United States to be further embarrassed and made to feel like garbage for being Americans. Just having to show their passports to Customs at both international airports was a horrifying, sad experience. "I nearly lost it when the Customs agent asked me if I had anything to declare," one of Brzezinski's friends said. "I wanted to declare what a better country France was compared to the United States, but I bit my tongue."

Mika's future husband and current sex partner Joe Scarborough realized that she wasn't speaking to the average American, only the rich snobs they hang out with. He made an unfunny joke, trying to take the onus off the anus and said, "Paris, Texas, right?"

"Paris, France," Mika responded. "They said it was the first time that it was sort of chilling."

She said her friends "didn't even want to share" that they were from the United States, [maybe they should have said they were from Islamabad, but their passports gave them away].

Amber Athey of the Daily Caller wasn't too happy with their response and wrote, "Maybe Mika's friends should stay in Paris if they're too embarrassed to admit that they are Americans. We might be better off."

I've included a photo of the current state of Paris, France now that the migrants have set up shop there.

Last month Brzezinski angered women who accused Mark Halperin of sexual harassment when she admitted she had tried to arrange a meeting so that the scum wafer could publicly apologize and be resolved of his wrongdoing.

Halperin was fired from MSNBC after being accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct. Brzezinski tried to intervene saying that Halperin was "more than willing to meet with his accusers and apologize with them face-to-face." She said she "actually tried to offer him to them" but the women "don't want to talk to him" for some strange reason.

Ten of Halperin's accusers sent a letter to the network following Brzezinski's brilliant comments. The letter stated that Brzezinski was "inappropriate" for suggesting such a meeting and that she has a conflict of interest because of her "personal relationship" with the scum crumpet.

It is unclear whether Brzezinski's friends are ashamed to be Americans because of the massive incidents of sexual misconduct, harassment and criminal behavior by their Hollywood buddies, or because they don't like President Trump.

If all Brzezinski's friends relocated and brought along everyone who claimed they would leave the United States if Donald Trump got elected, they would have to rename Hollywood award ceremonies, and call them the "Golden Globe" and "The Oscar."

Anonymous source says Joe, Mika want Trump dead

MSNBC's Reliable news crew

According to anonymous sources, Joe Scarborough said that he would like to see President Trump dead and would be happy to urinate on his grave.

Scarborough's future spouse, Mika Brzezinski, allegedly said that she would also be happy to urinate on his grave, according to the same anonymous source, adding that she and Joe plan to have sex on Trump's grave if this actually should occur, and it couldn't occur soon enough, the anonymous source said she said.

Another anonymous source assured Brain Flushings that the anonymous source cited above was believable and has access into Scarborough's off-camera statements. "Think of me as the Scarborough's bedroom mirror," the source said.

Both anonymous sources have provided important and reliable information to the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS News, and "Morning Joe."

'Morning Joe' The Hypocritical Schmoe

"The Hypocritical Schmoe"

"Morning Joe" The Hypocritical Schmoe, Joe Scarborough, slammed UN Ambassador Nikki Haley on Friday for "threatening" the General Assembly. 

Of course, when The Hypocritical Schmoe was himself a Congressman, he wanted the United States to withdraw from the United Nations altogether--he didn't mention that when he spoke about our ambassador.

Haley threatened to pull funding over the U.N. vote condemning President Trump's recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Scarborough, as liberal hypocrites go, didn't like that idea.

Joel Pollak of Breitbart News found the bill the former make-believe Republican Congressman introduced in 1995--it would have ended U.S. membership in the U.N. which is obviously more radical than what Haley said.

The hyper hypocrite Scarborough said that Haley was "no diplomat" and "an embarrassment to the United States" because of her warning to the UNGA that we will remember their lack of support the next time they need money.

But Scarborough, ever the flaming hypocrite, probably didn't think anyone would remember what he wanted to do regarding our U.N. membership. Oops.

"The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation," Haley said. "We will remember it when we are called upon to once again to make the world's largest contribution to the United Nations and we will remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit."

Pissed off, Scarborough said, "We're going to need them on Iran. We're going to need their help on North Korea. We may need their help again in Syria. We're going to need their help in a thousand places. And yes, they're going to need our help too. And guess what?" he asked, mimicking Dennis Rodman's famous line, "We're not going to work together if Nikki Haley is going up there humiliating the United States of America by threatening our allies over a non-binding resolution. It's just like Donald Trump's tweets," the hypocritical disrespectful scumcrumpet said. "Every response has to be a nuclear response. There is no subtlety of thought."

But what Haley may lack in subtlety, Scarborough lacks in intellect. We've used subtlety in the past with the UNGA, and with the anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic Organization of Islamic Cooperation and nothing ever changes. 

Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama and George W. Bush have each said they would declare Jerusalem the rightful capital of Israel, but only President Trump has said it and followed through on the promise.

Joe The Hypocritical Schmoe Scarborough's bill was known as the United Nations Withdraw Act of 1995.

"Effective four years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the United States Mission to the United Nations shall be closed and all staff and any remaining functions of such office shall be carried out through the Secretary of State and the Department of State," the hypocrite's bill stated.

Like "Morning Joe," the bill failed and he resigned in 2001. Now all he needs to do is resign in 2018.

'Morning Joe' tricks liberal viewers with fake program

MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' hosts tried to trick their naive viewers into thinking Friday's pre-taped show was live. The host, Joe Scarborough and his current partner, Mika

Brzezinski, discussed their Thanksgiving meals, even though the holiday had not yet arrived.

Brzezinski began the show by claiming: "Day after Thanksgiving . . . I'm stuffed," as Scarborough nervously laughed. She then went on to talk about what needs to be done in Congress.

The deception is clearly disrespectful to their fellow leftists because MSNBC tried to create the lie that their overpaid morning show stars would come to work in the early morning hours after a national holiday.

The move was initially reported by The Washington Post on Wednesday.

An MSNBC spokes-liberal declined comment when Fox News tried to reach out.

In the second segment of Friday's "Morning Joe," Brzezinski joked that she forgot to remove the innards of the turkey before cooking it and that it was still a bit frozen when she served it.

"Joe didn't notice; he ate the bag," Willie Geist lied.

Scarborough giggled like an eleven-year-old girl and fired back, "It was good . . . the game last night made up for it."

MSNBC did not feature a disclaimer revealing that it was pre-taped and the only subtle difference was the disappearance of the "live" graphic that's typically present, knowing their audience isn't savvy enough to have caught it.

The scam continued even with their guest, such as Rick Tyler when he was asked about his Thanksgiving.

The Washington Post learned of the scam when a regular "Morning Joe" liberal contacted them and reportedly asked if MSNBC was airing "fake news," clearly illustrating how uninformed their normal viewing audience is. The paper was shocked to see the "Liberal Lovebirds" appearing in studio on the day after Thanksgiving.

The tipster told The Post: "I was quite flabbergasted by the way they were so deceptive about this . . . especially when they are always so quick to castigate lying [or] deception they attribute to others."

The tipster is now 'woke'.

Since the show was a pre-taped scam, they didn't mention the deadly terrorist attack at a mosque in Egypt that killed 305 people, 27 of whom were children. It was the network's news ticker that updated real time news.

An anonymous MSNBC executive spoke with The Post about the situation, but basically brushed it off because facts aren't as important as feelings to liberals.

Joe Scarborough's crystal ball

When Metamucil works

Joe Scarborough has undertaken to reading minds. He was able to extract from the President's brain that Trump never planned on winning the presidency--he expected Jeb Bush would win--but it was all a big scam to make money.

Scarborough said that Trump was going to "take the money and run" perhaps to Russia where he and his close buddy Vladimir Putin could take off their shirts, get on their horses, and ride into the sunset.

Scarborough's comments regarding his clairvoyance come after a report that a senior executive from Trump's real estate business reached out to Putin's personal spokesman during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, purportedly to seek help with a stalled Trump real estate development project in Moscow. 

The report said that Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime attorney and frequent guest on Fox News' Hannity, sent the email regarding a Trump Tower development to Dmitry Peskov in January 2016.

When Metamucil fails

According to another report, members of the Trump Organization and investors almost reached a deal to open a Trump Tower in Moscow during the presidential race last year.

The Trump Organization and investors signed a letter of intent to open a massive development as part of the Trump brand, including the ties, the meat, the wine and yes, the hats. This was to be part of deal but it was dropped in January 2016.

"It just keeps going," Scarborough said on Tuesday, referring to the Russian scandal as opposed to he and Mika "going" after a nice bottle of Trump wine. 

"You just keep thinking okay, well, they couldn't have done anything dumber than this."

Just don't bet on it, Scarborough.

"Morning Joke" star Joe Scarborough doesn't know he's a liberal

"Morning Joke" host Joe Scarborough says that he's finished with the GOP, obviously unaware that we've been done with him almost as long as he's been a flaming liberal.

On Tuesday when Scarborough and fiancee Mika Brzezinski appeared on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" the extreme liberal and GOP-hater said he's going to be an independent. 

Scarborough's about as independent as a co-dependent abused wife of a crazed jihadist.

Scarborough has recently gone toe-to-toe with President Trump and now has criticized the GOP for failing to live up to its promises, betraying their core values and "kowtowing" to the president.

Maybe the GOP "kowtows" to him because he's representing the GOP.

Scarborough (aka "The Sellout") said, "You have to ask yourself: What exactly is the Republican Party willing to do? How far are they willing to sell out?"

"But aren't you a Republican?" Colbert asked, pretending that Scarborough was ever really a Republican.

"I am a Republican," he lied, "but I'm not going to be a Republican anymore. I've got to become an independent." The seals applauded and Colbert threw them a bucket of fish.

Scarborough has called President Trump a variety of insulting names like "crazy," and "psycho," and became upset when Trump hit back with his own Trumpian attacks.

Scarborough has not been a Republican ever since he met Mika Brzezinsky. He is a horny toad liberal and don't believe a word he says.

Damascus: Holiday festivities end with a [car bomb] bang

Screen grab Fox News

Now that the big Muslim holiday Eid Al-Fitr is over, it's time for jihadis to once again start blowing themselves up along with as many infidels as possible in order to achieve the gift of Paradise and 72 virgins, young boys and rivers of wine.

Sounds like a good deal if you believe that sort of rubbish.

Several car bomb explosions marked the celebration of jihad in Syria's capital of Damascus. One explosion was caused by a suicide attacker who, when surrounded by security forces, "Allahu Akbarred" himself into tiny bite-size pieces, killing eight others and wounding about a dozen more.

According to state media, security forces intercepted two other car bombs and neutralized them via controlled explosions. Footage from state TV of Tahreer Square in central Damascus show the facade of a building badly damaged and a bunch of 'totaled' cars parked in a small roundabout ('roundaboot' in Canadian).

Attacks in the heart of Damascus are rare, but this one began during the morning commute on the first day back from the Ramadan Boomathon.

The Interior Ministry said that security forces were tracking three cars heading for 'Dodge' and were able to stop two of them at checkpoints on the airport road. A third car made it into the city center where the driver blew himself up near Tahreer Square.

The Syrian Ministry of Local Administration, Hussein Mkhlouf (no relation to Barack Hussein Obama) said the security force's response was a "major success in foiling a plot" to cause mass casualties.

Tell that to the families of the dead and the wounded.

There were conflicting reports on casualties. While Syrian state propaganda TV reported 8 dead, 12 wounded, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, reported at least 12 killed. The Hezbollah-linked Lebanon's al-Manar TV, which is close to the Syrian government, and Diary of a Mortar, a Syrian activist group, said 19 people were killed.

Syrian President Bashar "The Chin" Assad had made a series of public appearances last week to show his confidence after 6 years of civil war. He may be in hiding at this time but it's doubtful that we'll see him diddy-bopping around Tahreer Square anytime soon.

ISIS has not yet claimed responsibility for the attack but Joe Scarborough claims Donald Trump is responsible for the violence everywhere.

The sliming continues with Joe, Mika and Donald

A top White House aide never suggested a quid pro quo during a call with Joe Scarborough regarding a scheduled National Enquirer story, an anonymous source we'll call Vinny Boombots, told Fox News. This is despite Scarborough's claims that a Trump adviser attempted to blackmail him into giving positive coverage to President Trump.

Scarborough, a past conservative whose conversion to liberalism was initiated through his man parts and Mika Brzezinski, made the allegation on Friday's "Morning Joe," a morning cable TV show with over 1,000 viewers without jobs.

Joe and his squeeze Mike provided a crazy-fierce tweet response to a pair of tweets Trump tweeted on Twitter directed at the MSNBC co-habitating hosts the previous day.

But Vinny, who is familiar with the Scarborough situation, called senior adviser Jared Kushner, with whom Scarborough was friendly with,  to ask about a National Enquirer article scheduled to run in early June about the relationship between Scarborough and Brzezinski, who have since announced their engagement.

Joe asked Jared if there was anything that could be done about the article, Vinny said, given Donald's friendship with Dave Pecker (his friends call him 'Pecker'), the chief executive of the Enquirer's parent company, American Media. 

Jared allegedly told Joe that the former GOP congressman needed to talk to Donald himself about the situation, to which Joe said that Donald was angry at him. 

Vinny said that Jared answered, "Well, then maybe you should apologize."

Though Joe and Mika were initially criticized for being too palsy walsy with Donald during the GOP presidential primaries, the friendship eventually soured with Joe and Mika becoming harsh critics of Donald--even going so far as to question his mental health. (It's rumored that Joe took Psych 101 in college.)

Joe described the conversation a lot differently on "Morning Joe," saying a top presidential aide threatened him with a negative story unless he stopped being so negative about Donald, implying Donald's team was blackmailing him. Of course, Joe never identified the aide to whom he 'conversated' with.

However, Vinny who spoke to Fox news said there wasn't anything in the conversation between Jared and Joe to suggest a quid pro quo or an in hoc signo vinces, or even blackmail. It was simply that if Joe wanted to get back on speaking terms with Donald, perhaps an apology was in order, or a kissing of a ring or something in lieu of that.

After "Morning Joe" ended, Donald tweeted to deny Joe's charge:

"Watched low rated @Morning_Joe for first time in long time. FAKE NEWS. He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show."

Meanwhile, North Korea continues to work on its ballistic missile program, ISIS is fighting in Mosul, Russia is hacking our industries, and the healthcare bill is still unresolved.

Sad!
